9ct Gold Antique Mizpah Ring, Hallmarked, Birmingham 9ct Gold, 1924

This is a really beautiful, antique 'Mizpah' ring, with clear gothic style raised lettering which sit across the centre, spelling, 'Mizpah'. It is fully hallmarked for 9ct Gold, Birmingham and the year 1924.

The word Mizpah comes from the Old Testament (Genesis 31:49, "And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent from one another")

Mizpah jewellery was popular during the Victorian era from the mid- to late-1800s and tended to serve as sweetheart jewellery, given to a loved one during a period of long separation such as military service or travel.

This splendid ring is currently a UK size M 1/2 which is a US size 6 1/2, but it could be re-sized by your local jeweller. It remains in wonderful condition despite the fact it will be 100 years old next year.

It measures approximately 5mm all the way round and weighs a healthy 3.08g. It could be worn on its own, or as part of a stack.

Please have a look at the pictures and video, and dont hesitate get in touch if you have any questions.
